SMART released an update to Notebook yesterday: Version 11 SP1 for both Windows and Mac. Typically SMART releases updates on the web a few weeks before your automatic software updater finds it. I usually prefer to download the new versions from the web once they come out. You are not required to uninstall the previous version to install the new one, but if you are having problems you may want to. This is especially important Continue…

Doing proper research required instruction and practice, as in any educational discipline. And failing to do credible research can put any student’s paper or project in jeopardy. Information is the supermarket, research is the ingredients we select, and the paper is that special dinner we are going to share with friends. However, if your ingredients are inferior or just plain wrong, Continue…
A few weeks ago I wrote about some potential problems that came about with Smart Notebook due to an update that Mac had done. Smart has now released a patch that fixes many of these issues.

Using the Continue…
